IRA

A Presbyterian minister, he resigned his ministry and was elected to Parliament in the 1982 by-election following the assassination of the Rev Robert Bradford MP by the IRA.

That's because in the 1990s the IRA began causing economic damage through bombs, without taking life.

In 1984, he and his wife were injured in the IRA bombing of the Grand Hotel in Brighton during the Tory Party's annual conference.

Until that day in 2005, the UK's response to terrorism groups was heavily influenced by the experience of combating the IRA, which organised itself along military lines.

Those of us lucky enough not to need the money can donate it directly from an IRA to the nonprofits of our choice.
